Chapter 251 - 251: New High-Tech Talent
At that moment, he was like a thirsty traveler walking in the desert who suddenly saw the water he had been longing for. He wanted to immediately go forward and recommend his software to Xi Wan. God knew how much willpower he had to endure this impulse.
Xi Wan looked at Shen Jie, who was rejoicing, and asked, “Then can you tell me now who wants to harm you?”
Xi Wan’s mind wandered and she thought of a ridiculous possibility, “Did the underworld threaten you?”
‘ Shen Jie did not expect that the seemingly unfathomable Xi Wan would have such a wild train of thought. He held back his laughter and said to her, “No, it’s Ling Group and Cheng Group. They both want to buy my software in one go.”
Xi Wan did not even need to think to know the result. “You don’t want to.”
“I’m not too willing.” Shen Jie truthfully told Xi Wan about his concerns. “If they find out that you invested in me, I’m afraid they’ll do something bad to you.”
Ling Group and Cheng Group?
Thinking of these two companies, Xi Wan couldn’t help but think of Ling Feng and Cheng Shi.
Xi Wan said to the system, “System, go and check what this has to do with Ling Feng and Cheng Shi.”
[Wait a moment, I’ll check it out now.] The system agreed.
“If you don’t think it’s appropriate, we can take advantage of the fact that we haven’t officially signed the contract yet. As for the investment…” Shen Jie said nervously, “Forget it.”
When he saw Xi Wan here, he was indeed very surprised.
Other than developing the software, he would also read entertainment news online to relax. After his analysis, he believed that Xi Wan had the backing of Su Group and was someone who could compete with Ling Group and Cheng Group.
However, he did not know the inside story of these wealthy families. He was still uncertain whether Xi Wan would offend the other two companies for a software with some prospects.
Xi Wan trusted him and was willing to invest in his project. Naturally, he should return her sincerity.
“It’s a small problem.” Xi Wan put down the flower tea in her hand, the smile on her face did not change as she comforted him, “In a society ruled by law, everyone is a law-abiding citizen. They won’t dare to act recklessly.”
At the same time, two groups of people were hiding outside the hotel.
Cheng Shi brought a few people and prepared to kidnap Xi Wan.
Cheng Shi did not know that just as she was waiting to kidnap Xi Wan, on the other side, Ling Feng, who also knew of her actions, was waiting with his men.
Ling Feng was prepared to make use of Cheng Shi’s hand and secretly take Xi Wan away to hide, then push all the responsibility onto Cheng Shi.
Xi Wan and Shen Jie were talking about this software that had been developed. The system that had finished flipping through the plot returned: [Host, I have to remind you that Cheng Shi is really capable of kidnapping.]
“She doesn’t belong to society.”
The system did not understand what Xi Wan was saying and only understood after a while.
[!!!] The system was shocked. It knew for the first time that such serious words could be used to scold people.
It had to record this sentence. In the future, when it quarreled with other systems, it would use this sentence to amaze them!!
Back to the main topic, the system brought up the plot related to Shen Jie: [This Shen Jie is also a peripheral character. He was only mentioned in the original novel as a talented young man. At that time, the male and female protagonists had already gotten together. They met Shen Jie, a newcomer in the technology industry, at a banquet. The female protagonist’s shoes did not fit well, so Shen Jie helped her. Then, the female protagonist used this incident to stage another small jealousy incident.]
Xi Wan quickly grasped the main point and asked the system, “A technological upstart?”
That meant that in the original novel, even if Shen Jie did not receive any investment, he could still successfully complete the development.
[Yes, Shen Jie used this software as a starting point to establish his own company.] The system added: [This half-developed software was later called his genius work by the industry. It was the peak of his appearance in the plot.]
Xi Wan nodded. She understood. It was because of this that Ling Feng, who knew the entire script, extended an ‘olive branch’ to an unknown young man like Shen Jie. He wanted to take advantage of Shen Jie’s wealth to take him under his wing and contribute to his future business empire.
As for Cheng Shi, it was really possible that she had reached an agreement with Zhao Fei and obtained this news from Zhao Fei, and she fought for it..
